Golden Orchid, digital painting

Finished product



I decided to add fronds and tall grasses as background instead of fence and shed. Also cleaned up a lot of the lines and curves.

Overall, very satisfied with first serious attempt with digital artwork. I didn't go for photo realistic, as that isn't what I wanted.

Stupid is Global

But this time, it's in the UK.

Toddlers who dislike spicy food 'racist'

Toddlers who turn their noses up at spicy food from overseas could be branded racists by a Government-sponsored agency.
The National Children's Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organisations, has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.

This could include a child of as young as three who says "yuk" in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food. The guidance by the NCB is designed to draw attention to potentially-racist attitudes in youngsters from a young age. It alerts playgroup leaders that even babies can not be ignored in the drive to root out prejudice as they can "recognise different people in their lives"

I wonder if this will be equally applied to immigrant kids who say YUK to UK foods?
